Correction

April 19, 2005

An article in yesterday's Maryland section incorrectly described the legal action surrounding the proposed Owings Mills town center near the area's Metro station. In April 2003, the state filed a lawsuit against the former owners of the land where the town center is to be built, asking that a repurchase agreement between the state and the real estate investors who had owned the land be declared invalid. A month later, the former property owners, Painters Mill Venture, filed a countersuit.
